I feel that GM thumbed their nose at customers and their problems for too long. In the late '70s and early '80s friends made a killing doing cam changes in 305s. It was a big problem with no help from GM. This is only one problem that customers got stuck with. Now that GM is building some quality cars, customers are too gun shy to buy....no matter what J. D. Powers says. I wonder if GM can hold out long enough to get the ship turned around. I hope so because I work there and see the efforts people on the floor put into building a quality product. I still think we should have a retro '69 Chevelle in the mix. With the Corvette 427 we could even have a COPO Chevelle. I'd be the first to put in an order for one. It would have to be a six speed. I'm sure that Bob, Al, and others wouldn't be far behind.

AC was an American institution!!!!--- --I just hope it's not gonna take a foreign entities foresight to turn GM around--I'd hate to see the day we'd have to pay an import tax on a COPO Chevelle made in Japan--------

Amazing what they can do with a 3 billion captive work force. Hard to compete with that.

I'm a GM tech and things are slow at the dealership were I work. I can't feed my family doing warranty work. It pay's half or less of what a customer would pay. Ed
